A bunch of yokels are amusing themselves by giving themselves shocks with a wind-up electrical generator. Leontine steals it, and rushes off to try its effects on several other groups of people in this funny comedy.
By the third iteration I was able to figure out that a lot of the repeated gag was accomplished by having the actress stand in front of a screen on which the other performers were projected from behind. The seamlessness of the effect is very well done.
Leontine -- or 'Betty' as she was called in her presentations in English-speaking places, was a young girl who got into all sorts of highly destructive situations, like flooding an apartment building in BETTY'S BOAT. She's very funny, but aside from the character name, there's nothing known about these films.
